To Ex-Service Men at the Agricultural and Mechanical
College of Texas:
Cessation of hostilities in the European and Pacific Theatres
of Operation in May and August of 1945 brought joy and happiness
to Aggies throughout the world, and soon plans were being completed
for homecomings and re-enrollment in the A. and M. College of Texas.
Hundreds of others made plans to attend the College for the first
time, and the Staff made rapid progress in the changing from a war
status to a peace status. F
The entire nation has learned of the great contribution made
by former students of the College and has paid homage to the men
in service as it has to no other single institution. Aggies have
made records unsurpassed and have achieved all that typifies the
finest in American manhood. •
The College has made a sincere effort to render a valuable !~ , `
service to the veteran in making his work here pleasant and profit- ~~'~
able. Every member of the College Staff is proud of the scholastic
records being made and appreciates the co-operative spirit mani-
fested by the veterans. We have found changed attitudes and am-
bitions, for which we are all very thankful.
I have never worked with more joy and happiness than I have
since I returned from the service to A. and M. It has been an `,
inspiration to talk to so many good men, and we have been satiated
with pleasure when we think that perhaps we have been able to
render some small amount of assistance and service. I shall always
treasure these experiences and cherish the memories of these months.
I hope for every veteran and his family much happiness and success
in a life of peace and national development for many years to come.
